The perfect replica Breitling Orbiter missions were historic balloon flights that aimed to achieve the first non-stop circumnavigation of the globe by balloon, sponsored by the Swiss watchmaker Breitling and led by adventurers Bertrand Piccard and Brian Jones. It was a monumental ask, to go around the Earth without any engines or steering – the adventurers literally had to leave their fates to the winds.
The first successful 1:1 replica Breitling Orbiter mission, named Breitling Orbiter 3, took place in March 1999. The balloon, piloted by Piccard and Jones, successfully completed the circumnavigation, starting and ending in Switzerland. The journey lasted for nearly 20 days, covering a distance of over 40,000 kilometers (25,000 miles), making it the first successful non-stop balloon flight around the world.
If you’re a history buff like us, we highly recommend making the pilgrimage to the National Air and Space Museum at Dulles Airport outside Washington, D.C., where you’ll find the eye-catching orange gondola, standing out even in a sea of historical aviation engineering marvels.
Exactly 25 years after the Orbiter 3 mission, luxury replica Breitling has unveiled a commemorative watch that embodies the pioneering spirit of Piccard and Jones – The cheap fake Breitling Aerospace B70 Orbiter.
The Swiss movement replica Breitling also comes at a time when the brand is celebrating 140 years since Léon Breitling founded the company in Saint-Imier, Switzerland.
The high quality fake Breitling Aerospace B70 Orbiter 25th anniversary edition sports a vibrant orange dial reminiscent of the Orbiter 3 capsule housed within a robust 43mm titanium case. It holds a remarkable piece of history within its transparent caseback: a portion of the original top copy Breitling Orbiter 3 balloon. Encircling the caseback are the emblem and inscription commemorating the 25th anniversary of the first non-stop flight around the world. In its colours and its motifs, the watch takes inspiration from that historic flight. In wearing it, collectors perform a ritual of remembrance for this feat of human ingenuity and courage.
Driving the cheap replica Breitling Aerospace B70 Orbiter is the COSC-certified Breitling Manufacture Caliber B70, a thermo-compensated, SuperQuartz movement, which offers higher accuracy than standard quartz models. On top of its commemorative elements, this is a highly functional watch, including a 1/100th of a second chronograph with split-time and flyback capabilities, countdown timer, second timezone, two alarms, lap function, and perpetual calendar.
The Swiss movement copy Breitling Aerospace B70 Orbiter was lauched on March 21, 2024, precisely 25 years after the historic landing of the top quality replica Breitling Orbiter 3. This special edition timepiece pays tribute to a remarkable milestone in aviation history.
